- Comfortable across the stack: solid front-end ability
- Real product sense: ideally built for real end users on a genuine customer-facing (B2C) product
- Technology agnostic: you've worked across multiple stacks before
- Genuine ownership: a history of starting things from zero
- Startup experience, ideally somewhere genuinely chaotic
- Heavy, real fluency with AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code)
Benefits
- Fully AI-driven workflow
- Opportunity to own backend architecture end to end
